Gaining Happiness Through Simplicity..

Life is full of things in this new age, things have taken over our lives. In our generation its all about who has the newest car, the best job, the cutest cloths and the list goes on.. Our lives are so focused on things that everything is a jumble, its all complicated and the complications aren't even to fulfill our happiness but rather to make others think were happy..  When we live constantly unhappy  with what we have, always wanting more, we miss out on the amazing joys and blessings of what we do have that are right in front of us.  How often do you simply walk outside and stare at the sky? Yes it looks a bit weird to some but that shouldn't matter. How often do you just absorb the sunlight not for the sake of a fashion tan but simply because it feels good? How often do you dance in the rain without fear of your makeup being ruined simply because you want to? How often do you wake up, look out your window and thank God for giving you another day? Our society is so focused on material items and making everything such a competition that we can miss our on life's greatest joys, we miss out on Gods greatest gifts! These aren't the gifts that cost a million dollars, actually since there free they are often overlooked.. Look at the world around you, see the beauty in Gods great masterpiece. When you start finding joy in the simplicity God has provided you with then you will always have a reason to be joyful and not a day will go by where you don't have something to appreciate or be thankful for.. When you start living in simplicity, you truly start living in joy.

The fire

  A thought came to me today as I stumbled upon some inspirational posts. Why are we often so eager to escape our troubling circumstances. We get trapped in the fire and get so focused on getting out that perhaps we miss the most important question of all, what refining needs to be completed in the fire? Just as a welder uses the fire to shape and refine metal, so God uses our circumstances, "fires" to shape and refine us. If he simply swooped in and saved the day, we would lack the knowledge he hopes us to gain, we wouldn't grow in character or wisdom. In the fire we think he abandom us, left us to our own devices, but in reality he is more present in the fire even then in the calm. It's when we feel abandoned that he's calling to us the loudest, beckoning us to just open our ears to listen to his voice. Take the fires in stride, don't immediately reach for the extinguisher. Allow the flames to surround you with the confident knowledge that the one whom the...

Be-You-Tiful

Hey Ladies<3 This post is specifically for all my ladies out there, we often hear the word "beautiful" in many ways. Its often used when we see someone we find prettier than ourselves in our eyes. We feel like we don't measure up because we aren't the "perfect or ideal" weight, or maybe we aren't using the super expensive makeup that someone else is. People in general are self conscious but we as woman get the brunt of it. We constantly try to be the "ideal" for someone else, its like a constant battle to be someones idea of beautiful. So much so that we forget to focus on our own idea of beautiful. We wear uncomfortable cloths, go on massive diets, and try to learn the impossible eye liner tutorials so that we feel like we measure up. We get so caught up in the worlds idea of beauty that we loose track of what we think is beautiful and what is spiritually beautiful. Some think that beauty comes from how much you spend on your appearance ,b...

Identity

I must first apologize to all of you , my readers for the long gap in between blogs. This summer has been insane and while I am not one to share my own personal life, I believe there were lessons learned and wisdom gained this past summer in which I would like to share with all of you. So all my teens and even parents out there, this ones for you.     Growing up is hard, especially in today's world with so many constant influences trying to tell us who we are and who we should become. It's a struggle among these influences to find out who you are now and who God wants you to be in the future, it's a constant question of if you made the right choice, if your going the right direction, and sometimes it feels as if there is purely no direction in any way you look. It can feel as if God is no longer leading you, and if your like me, that feeling is scary. I want to give you wisdom tonight that God is with you, I know for a fact because he stayed with me even when I couldn'...
